Provided is a connected body connecting electrically between power generation parts of SOFCs, which has high connection strength and high reliability of electric connection. Adjacent two segmented-in-series type SOFCs ( 100 ), ( 100 ) are connected to each other with a metallic connecting member ( 300 ). A “left side end portion of the connecting member ( 300 )” and an “interconnector ( 30 ) electrically connected to an air electrode ( 60 ) provided on the SOFC ( 100 ) on the left side” are electrically connected to each other with a connecting material ( 80 ), and a “right side end portion of the connecting member ( 300 )” and the “interconnector ( 30 ) electrically connected to a fuel electrode ( 20 ) provided on the SOFC ( 100 ) on the right side” are electrically connected to each other with the connecting material ( 80 ). Both of the interconnectors ( 30 ), ( 30 ) to be respectively connected to both ends of the metallic connecting member ( 300 ) with the connecting material ( 80 ) are formed of dense conductive materials. |
